Phil Rogers
On Baseball
3:22 PM CST, March 9, 2013
Look out, below. The Rangers, who not so long ago were morphing into the Yankees, are coming down to Earth before our eyes.
Barring some diplomacy worthy of a great secretary of state, Nolan Ryan is on his way out of the organization. He feels marginalized by front-office changes that were announced March 1 and probably already would have left if not for fulfilling some commitments he made for spring training, including representing the team in a two-game series at the Alamodome in San Antonio on the way to Houston for the March 31 opener.
That game will be ESPN's Sunday night opener, and it will be the first regular-season game the Rangers have played without Michael Young or Josh Hamilton on the roster since 2000. For them, it will be like the Yankees post-Derek Jeter, and even if they are putting on the appearance of business as usual, it has been anything but after an unproductive winter when they failed to land starter Zack Greinke and lost Hamilton to the rival Angels.
I asked Ryan what that was like.
"Well, we knew we might lose him,'' Ryan said. "But to the Angels? No, we didn't see that coming. That was a shock. … And we thought he was going to give us a chance to match any offer he got.''
A lot of people in Texas turned Hamilton into a villain for not taking the offer from Arte Moreno back to Ryan, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and the club's owners, Bob Simpson and Ray Davis. But it's unlikely the Rangers would have given Hamilton $125 million over five years, not after management had come to distrust his ability to stay sober following a series of incidents the last few years. Oh, and it didn't help that his dropped fly ball at Oakland led to a collapse last September.
I asked Ryan if the Rangers would have matched.
"Now that's a good question,'' he said. "We didn't get there, so I don't know what we would have done.''
How involved would Ryan have been in the decision?
That's the question that has Ryan on the verge of walking away from his position as the team's chief executive officer. He's clearly no longer on the same page as Daniels and many of his top lieutenants, and Ryan's history suggests he only will be involved in a business if he either has control or a lot of influence.
Is there room for Ryan and an office filled with bright, young baseball executives working 16-hour shifts to keep the Rangers at the top of the American League, where they have been the last three years? The future success of the franchise — especially its position in a Dallas-Fort Worth sports landscape the NFL's Cowboys always have owned — depends on that question being answered positively.
Daniels is as highly respected as any GM in the game, and to be on the same level as Billy Beane, Brian Sabean, Theo Epstein, Andrew Friedman, Brian Cashman and Dave Dombrowski says a lot. But Ryan's involvement with the team has had enormous value in selling the team to its fans, many of whom have turned tailgating into a new baseball custom in the parking lots adjacent to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
Rangers ownership sided with Daniels and his staff over Ryan on a few decisions this winter, and subsequently promoted Daniels to president/baseball and a non-Ryan guy, Rick George, to president/business. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Randy Galloway has reported that ownership offered Daniels the title of CEO — Ryan's title — but Daniels told the Dallas Morning News that didn't happen.
Daniels doesn't want Ryan to leave. He knows he would be blamed for it, fairly or not, and doesn't want to be to Ryan what Jerry Jones was to Tom Landry. That's no way to go through life, especially not when you're somebody who can be fired, not an owner yourself.
Will Ryan stay or go? One thing that's sure is ESPN will have plenty to talk about when the Rangers-Astros opener arrives.
Tight fit: Following up on a breakout season in the minors, the Brewers' Khris Davis has been one of the most impressive hitters in Arizona. But he could be a candidate for a trade because until further notice the 25-year-old is stuck behind Ryan Braun.
Davis, who hit .350 with a 1.055 OPS in 82 games spread between three levels last year, is stuck in left field because he does not have the arm to play center or right. He tried first base in the Instructional League without convincing anyone he could make the transition.
Davis hit three home runs in as many days last week, including an unofficial one off Team Canada.
"I've always heard this guy can really swing it and it's nice to see him doing it,'' Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Even his outs are hard. He's hitting off-speed; he's hitting fastballs. He's doing a great job."
Still blessed: The Blackhawks have generated some discussion about the best start ever for a team in pro sports. It's hard to beat the Bulls' 41-3 start in the 1995-96 season but the 1984 Detroit Tigers did.
Given the more balanced nature of baseball, and the fact the best teams rarely manage a .650 winning percentage, the Tigers' 35-5 start remains hard to believe. They were far more dominant than the Blackhawks have been, almost doubling the score of their opponents (236-120) over the first 40 games.
That Bless You Boys team was as much about the brilliance of Sparky Anderson as the talent it possessed. Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker were in their primes, as were ace Jack Morris along with Kirk Gibson and Lance Parrish, but Anderson used his pitching staff and bench like a true master.
Here's a good omen for the Blackhawks. Both the 95-96 Bulls and the '84 Tigers not only won championships but rolled through the playoffs, the Bulls going 15-3, the Tigers 7-1.
Another level: You wonder how long the Pirates will regret not meeting Scott Boras' price to sign Mark Appel? The Stanford ace returned to school after not signing and seems capable of turning in one of the all-time great college seasons.
In back-to-back starts against Texas and Fresno State, Appel threw nine-inning complete games, getting 54 outs while facing only 62 hitters. That's incredible dominance given the composite bats college hitters use.
Appel struck out 25 and walked two in those starts, allowing six hits. He's among the college pitchers the Cubs are studying closely with regard to the second overall pick this June. One question he presents is how much of an advantage he has this year because he's a senior facing younger hitters.

Assessment plans are developed by academic units (schools, departments, programs) with the support, as needed, of the Office of Academic Assessment. Why develop an assessment plan? In general, most endeavors are more successful if they are clearly outlined and planned in advance. Assessment is no different.
An assessment plan and resulting assessment reports can serve a number of functions:
Valuable information can be lost as members of the department change roles, go on sabbatical, move to another university, retire or simply not recall the challenges, successes, explanations for decisions, solutions to problems, etc. that have occurred through the assessment process. Assessment plans and reports document these processes for future members and leaders of the department.
An assessment plan allows all departmental members to share an understanding of the department's assessment vision. Faculty can comment on and question the plan from an informed standpoint. Faculty are aware of how their courses and educational practices fit in with the rest of the curriculum and what their roles are with regard to assessment.
An assessment plan is an efficient means of communicating a department's assessment activities and educational practices to new and adjunct faculty.These faculty do not need to wait for a committee meeting nor do they need torely on piecemeal information which may leave them with an incomplete or inaccurate depiction of the department's assessment activities.
Departments can share their assessment plans with each other and, in doing so, share successful approaches to assessment, creative solutions to overcoming obstacles to assessment, innovative changes made to curriculum and instruction to improve student learning, etc.
An assessment plan demonstrates to accrediting and funding agencies, parents, students and others that the department has thought through the assessment process and is committed to assessing student learning and to improving the teaching and learning process in the school or department. Assessment reports document evidence of student learning as well as the improvements that have been made to educational opportunities.
Directly linked to an institution's mission and learning goals, academic assessment is the process of researching how well educational programs and opportunities are working to promote student learning, development, and growth. Academic assessment is the process of collecting, analyzing, and using information to determine if students are actually learning the intended objectives of the courses, programs, and schools in which they are enrolled.
Regardless of the scope or topic, all assessment plans include three primary stages: identifying the student learning goals (objectives), collecting and assessing information to see how well the goals are being met, and taking action as a result of the new information gleamed from the research. An assessment is NOT complete without this final "feedback loop," where results are directly used to inform decision-making.
Every institution must clarify for itself an appropriate assessment program, based on its own mission and learning goals. Programs within institutions must similarly craft appropriate assessment plans that link to institution, school, and program goals. This means faculty and instructors remain the key actors involved in the design and implementation of course and program-level academic assessment.
Developing an assessment plan is an ordered, multi-step process:

Heres' my Shadow Shot Sunday #139
Well, it's been quite an eventful week here in Queensland. I'm sure most of you have seen footage on your TV of the devastation that the floods have caused. Queensland: "the sunshine state" and "beautiful one day, perfect the next" have been popular slogans of tourist campaigns of past. While those slogans may not paint an accurate picture right now, they will be relevant again. I've watched on television countless scenes of devastation in other parts of the world and it breaks my heart and seems all so surreal. To have it happen in your own hometown is even more heart breaking and surreal. But happen it does. And we deal with it. We rebuild. Not to make light of the loss of homes and businesses that many people are experiencing, but things can be rebuilt. It's not the 'things' that make Queensland the great place it is. It's not the fancy river walk structure that collapsed and floated down the Brisbane river, it's not the iconic restaurants that have been ruined, it's not the cute little inner-city workers cottages submerged in water up to their roofs, or the homes and businesses in regional Queensland that were once filled with character and charm, now filled with poisonous brown snake riddled sludge. And the list could go on and on. The loss of those things is horrible and so very traumatic for the people who have lost homes and possessions, but it's the people that matter. Qlders built those things and Qlders will build them again. It's the people of Qld that make Qld the great place it is. The strong, resilient, community minded, talented, creative, beautiful, humorous, and inspiring people of Qld that makes Qld shine and makes me so proud and feel so fortunate to be a part of this great state. Qld is my home because the people I share it with make it so. The sun has been shining for the last few days. We love Mother Nature when she is playing nicely, but she also plays dirty and nowhere in the world is immune to what she is capable of throwing at us. But the game isn't over. Mother Nature hasn't beaten us. She hasn't won. Not by a long shot. Qlders will rise above this. And may Mother Nature attempt to redeem herself by keeping that sun shining.
And another thing. Sorry this post is so long already but I really do need to touch on this from my previous post of thanks. Again, thanks from the bottom of my heart for your lovely messages of concern and thoughts and prayers. I've received such lovely messages from blogging friends, and friends from the Etsy community and other online places. It's so heart warming to know that people from all over the world care about us here in Queensland and take the time to reach out. Even complete strangers browsing Etsy who have stumbled upon my shop and noticed the location being Qld have sent sweet messages of concern for the people of this flood ravaged state. Strangers reaching out to strangers is a beautiful thing. I'm seeing it first hand happening around my own community but to experience it on a global level is amazing. To quote the Ben Lee song "we're all in this together" is exactly how I feel. Human kindness should never be underestimated as it's the most powerful thing in the world. We ache, you ache. You ache, we ache. Regardless of being separated by oceans, we are indeed all in this together because we are simply one big community. We have different names for the areas we reside in but that's kind of important for the postal workers. It makes their jobs easier and less confusing. It would be chaos if we addressed all mail to 'the world' but it is the same world we all live in. We're all neighbours. Neighbours who do deeply care for each other. So thank you. xo

Let the Campaigning Begin
Only three days into 2012, news hawks and pundits alike are making conclusions about the November election. Democrats and Republicans are both smelling victory. But the cynics are not as optimistic.
Before the first primary election, Republican candidates are either dropping out, thinking about dropping out, or hoping the other guy will drop out. There's also been a season-long criticism that there is not one breakout candidate. Of the seven or eight candidates who started out, most did seem very well-qualified. And if we use the standard of how we are measuring our current president, we could do a lot worse.
It is quite clear that Ron Paul is a bigot. The fact that he is accepted by so many Republicans is extremely alarming. It is easy to prove Paul's bigotry; just read what he has said and written. It is not a matter of debate, it is clear.
Ron Paul has some Nazi-like ideas about foreign policy, economics, equality, rights, etc. Ron Paul has the support of the John Birch Society. How far right does one have to go before the right-wing Republicans get disgusted? Everything that sets this country apart from Nazism and fascism is absent in Ron Paul's idea of the world and America's place in it. He writes that Israel should not be an idependent nation. The government should stay out of everything that regulates corporations. Only state government should interfere to guaranty the rights of Nazi-like activities. Ron Paul is even to the right of some of today's neo-Nazis.

Healthful Indian Flavors-Episode 1
"Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu"
TV Series Begins: Jan. 7th, 2012 Saturday
In Iowa we had the parade of holy liars, saintly deceptors, strutting deceivers. Now that glorious group of Republican presidential candidate hopefuls moves to New Hampshire. Truthfully, is this the best we can do?
When will it be revealed in the media about Santorum's corrupt mortgage arrangement? Pay to play for the then-Senator? I give you money, you get me some legislation that will make me a ton of money. And for good measure, once it passes you will receive a very favorable mortgage for your new home.
Debate Overload
After a dozen or so Republican debates, we thought we had heard enough to make a decision on who should be our next Republican nominee for the office of the presidency of the United States. However, the debates keep coming.
The Democrats are sitting back and laughing. Rightfully so? I don't think so. The Democrats are sitting back and salivating as the Republican candidates begin to take some swipes at each other hoping they will implode. The debate cycle has also been described as a circular firing squad. Many have repeated what has become known as Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment-did not speak ill of another Republican. They knew the shots were coming. They had to. No one would know what would speak separating the candidates if they did not come out and answer questions.
Please take careful note of the ads being placed in South Carolina and Florida by the sleazy greed-mongers who support especially Newt Gingrich. And especially placed by a casino owner who is big in Las Vegas, but bigger in Asia, and hopes to be much bigger in Asia. He's poured millions of dollars in these ads attacking Mitt Romney for his financial success using capitalism as his vehicle. Romney is being plummeted for his capitalism by Republicans! Greed knows no bounds. It will eat its own. [And in the case of today's Republicans, will portray themselves as saintly Christians in the process].

Healthful Indian Flavors-Epsiode 2
"Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu"
Saturday (January 14) at 12:30 p.m. on channel 10.1
It is hopeless to try and supply honesty, ethical principles, and wisdom to today's politicians. They are nothing but puppets who are manipulated by strings pulled by greed, war corporations, and special interests And because of this, the American voter has been sucked into this sleaze pit also. Citizens think they are expressing truth when they mimic the b.s. of corporate CEOs, wealthy and powerful influence buyers, a media that is dependent on the financial advertising of conglomerates, and the immense and unbridled power of the military-industrial complex.
How can we expect quality when we have the current group of people vying for the Presidency when they have shown themselves to be charlatans, to be for sale to the highest bidder, regurgitating the greedy positions of war profiteering, and even one leading candidate who had to be punished by his own House and his own party for acting unethically? This same sleaze-monger has chosen his wives through the adultery way of testing her out. Even his current wife has brought him to marriage and Catholicism by first having an adulterous affair with her. This is how low we have allowed our political line-up to be.

The Wisconsin Debacle
What is going on in Wisconsin? First, the Brewers were supposed to win it all this year. They didn't make it to the World Series. How about the Wisconsin Badgers? They lost in the Rose Bowl for the second year in a row. And last weekend, the Green Bay Packers gave everyone in the state to sour stomach. They had a championship caliber season and lost in the first round of the playoffs.
But the real debacle in Wisconsin is what is going on politically. Yes, the state budget is being balanced on the back of the state workers. You're being asked to pay hundreds of dollars per paycheck that they have not paid in many years. And a big change like that is certainly hard to get used to. But, let's not lose sight of the fact that taxes are not going up. Unfortunately, the tax-and-spend liberals cannot accept that as reality.
12 Scams to Watch for in 2012
The Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin investigates fraud reports throughout the year and reveals twelve of the newest and/or most common scams that consumers should avoid in 2012.
- BBB Phishing Frustrations: Businesses and organizations around the country are receiving fraudulent complaint emails from scammers who are abusing BBB's name and reputation.
- Mortgage Relief Misleaders: Homeowners are tricked into paying large upfront fees for mortgage relief services and then companies disappear abruptly.
- Hotel Hoaxes: Hotel guests receive calls in their rooms - often late at night - claiming that front desk computers have crashed and credit card numbers are needed again; victims provide information, but callers are not hotel employees.
- Cheating Contractors: Homeowners are left with little recourse after door-to-door repairmen promise incredible deals, require large upfront fees and then skip out before completing work.
- Check cashing cons: Sellers receive checks for more than items are worth and are instructed to wire excess money back. Checks later bounce and victims are responsible for lost funds.
- Social Media Scams: Victims are sent "popular" viral videos on social networking sites, but must upgrade software to view files. Downloads may install malware or viruses that place victims at risk for identity theft.
- Swindling Sweepstakes: Consumers who did not enter sweepstakes or foreign lotteries are informed that they have won large sums of money or other prizes and must pay smaller sums in order to collect; payments are made and nothing is received.
- Canine Cons: Scammers set up a fake website selling non-existent puppies for rock-bottom prices. Victims wire money to the so-called seller, but never receive their puppy.
- Pay the Con Artist Using Pre-Paid Debit Cards. Since consumers are getting wise to wiring money or fake checks, many scammers now prefer to be paid using untraceable, pre-paid debit cards.
- Timeshare Shams: In this tough real estate market, timeshare sellers should beware of companies that claim to already have a buyer and want upfront fees.
- Job Scams: Scammers are working overtime to take advantage of the high number of people looking for jobs, especially online.
- Lousy Legal Advice: Some scammers are offering low-cost legal advice, but don't have any legal qualifications. The only problem? The consumer may end up in even more legal trouble.
Report scams to BBB through Scam Source at bbb.org/scam-source. To find reputable businesses, visit bbb.org/find-business-reviews. Consumers can also receive news alerts from the Wisconsin BBB by following us on Twitter or liking us on Facebook.
Wildlife photo contest to benefit WI's wild animals
Wildlife photo contest to benefit Wisconsin's injured wild animals
To celebrate Wisconsin's wildlife, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at the Wisconsin Humane Society is pleased to announce its first-ever photo contest.
There is a $10 non-refundable entry fee per photo, which benefits the wild animals at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Celebrity judges will determine the top three photos, plus 3-5 honorable mentions.
Sometimes the term "bottom-feeders" fits perfectly. Look at the list of the sanctified GOP candidates devouring their political kinfolk in South Carolina. And I thought it was about as low as one could get when John McCain and his followers trashed a decorated Vietnam war hero, John Kerry. I overlooked that dastardly lie in part because McCain was a prisoner in a North Vietnamese camp. But it was low nevertheless. But each of the new Republican vultures, snakes, and eels truly feed off of each other, to say nothing of what they will do to our African-American President. First the GOP sharks sharpen their teeth on lies, deceptions, misrepresentations, and mask-wearing. Then they will turn to bigotry in the general election (they have already sunk to that, but they are distracted by telling lies about each other).
Romney pays 15% in taxes on his income. How much do you pay in percentage? Of course you work for your income. Romney devours others. His income diet is swallowing workers and those "lower" than he. And Romney has to lie and deceive about leading the passage of a Massachusetts version of Obamacare. The people in Massachusetts love the health care reform, but Romney must deny it, lie and bend in order to get his Party to accept him. The first rule of GOP politics is to destroy the other guy. What a strange take on what they call "patriotic" or "American."
Why Disclosing Tax Returns Matters
Mitt, you need to disclose your tax returns, as should all of the candidates. You've already blown it by revealing your effective tax rate, so unless you're concerned you overstated your tax rate somehow, get off your seat and turn them over.
It's not merely because everyone wants to confirm you're a bajillionaire. It's because reviewing a tax return gives us an idea of where your money comes from and in what businesses or interests you're invested.
Yes, I realize that the U.S. must have a military, and protect itself. However we have extended and expanded this to take on all the trappings of imperialism. From our imperialistic treatment of American Indians to recent illegal invasions of a foreign nation, America should be ashamed. And American capitalism has been very reliant on war to keep our corporations busy and making money, sell advertising and, like fires and natural catastrophes, it gets the biggest audience. Thus it sells advertising. And it concocts an American perspective that war is necessary, and war makes for profitable capitalism. OK-OK, we know the myriad stories of war and the drumbeat of military solutions to the world's problems. How about a little time given to peace as a subject? These are hardly peaceniks quoted...
"My first wish is to see this plague to mankind banished from off the Earth, and the sons and daughters of this world employed in more pleasing and innocent amusements than in preparing implements and exercising them for the destruction of mankind." -George Washington
North Shore Fire and North Shore Health Partner to Provide Child Safety Seat Check Program
North Shore Fire/Rescue and the North Shore Health Department are excited to announce a partnership that will provide support for both agencies' child safety seat check programs. Funding for training additional technicians is being provided by the North Shore Health Department through a Safety and Injury Prevention Grant Award under the Wisconsin Healthiest Families Initiative.
Please, prove me wrong. I think that the Republican Party big-wigs will do anythng they can to avoid having Newt Gingrich nominated as their presidential candidate. Both Newt's horrid background and his sleazy and uncontrolled temper would be a disaster for the GOP. Prove me wrong. While I tend to vote for Democrats, I cannot believe that even the Party of the John Birch Society, the Tea Party, and the adulterer Ronald Reagan would allow a despicable character as Newt to carry the Party's torch for the hightest office in the U.S. It is almost impossible to think we have sunk that low.
Usually the big money in the Republican Party (and there is plenty of it!), calls the shots. But the bigotry among conservatives that usually expresses itself toward blacks, Latinos, and other minorities, is now starting to coalesce against a Mormon, Mitt Romney. But with Newt as the alternative, Romney may look better. However the real fly in the ointment is that big money is not only following the usual right-wing suspects, but a casino billionaire and his wife have chosen Newt Gingrich as their preference, and have thrown tens of millions of dollars toward getting him elected. This is being done outside the usual Republican establishment. But as I see it, that is suicide for the Republicans.
Looking Ahead To MPTV Cooking Series (Epsiode 3-13)
I am thankful that so many of you took the time to send me feedback about the first three episodes of my MPTV series titled, "Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu". I hope you are enjoying the cooking shows on MPTV. I want to let you know that I have prepared many of the dishes from my shows for kids in middle schools. I found their response to be one of excitement and enjoyment in trying the flavorful foods. Cooking is love and is very nurturing. As Pensey says, "Love people, cook them tasty food"!
Let's look ahead and see what is coming up on MPTV on Saturdays at 12:30PM on Channel 10, with repeats on Sundays at 2PM on Channel 36 and 16, and on Fridays at 6PM on Channel 10. Shall we?

Hereditary angioedema is a genetic disorder that results in repeated episodes of swelling under the skin.
Hereditary angioedema resembles angioedema caused by an allergic reaction. However, hives do not develop and the cause is different. Hereditary angioedema is a genetic disorder due to a deficiency or malfunction of C1 inhibitor. C1 inhibitor is part of the complement system, which is part of the immune system (see Complement System).
In acquired angioedema, another disorder including certain cancers (such as lymphoma) or autoimmune disorders (such as systemic lupus erythematosus [lupus] or dermatomyositis) cause a deficiency of C1 inhibitor.
In hereditary and acquired angioedema, swelling (angioedema) may be triggered by
Areas of the skin and tissue under the skin may swell, as may the membranes lining the mouth, throat, airways, and digestive tract. Typically, the swollen areas are slightly painful, not itchy. Hives do not appear. Nausea, vomiting, and cramps are common. Swelling in the windpipe can interfere with breathing.
Doctors diagnose the disorder by measuring C1 inhibitor levels or activity in a sample of blood.
Certain drugs, such as ecallantide or purified C1 inhibitor (derived from human blood), can sometimes relieve the swelling. However, these drugs are not always available. Antihistamines and corticosteroids are not effective.
If the airway suddenly swells and people have difficulty breathing, the airway must be opened—for example, by inserting a breathing tube in the windpipe through the person's mouth or nose (intubation) or through a small incision in the skin over the trachea.
Stanozolol and danazol (which are synthetic male hormones) may help prevent subsequent attacks. These drugs may be given for a few days before and after a dental or surgical procedure, which may trigger an attack. Or they may be given to prevent attacks over the long term. These drugs, taken by mouth, can stimulate the body to produce more C1 inhibitor. Because these drugs can have masculinizing side effects, the dose is reduced as soon and as much as possible when these drugs are given to women for a long time.

Subject: Hurricane Katrina Recovery – Update #67
Posted: April 25, 2008
With much of the temporary
repair work completed or nearing completion around
campus, our focus has shifted to the more complex
and time consuming process of designing the
permanent repairs and related Section 406 Hazard
Mitigation for our major buildings. There are two fundamental parts to the
process as we seek FEMA approval.
We begin by working with our
architects and engineering teams to develop
relatively high level design concepts for each
building. The conceptual documents set forth all of the
significant elements of the proposed 406 mitigation
work, provide some basic drawings and include the
initial cost estimates for the specific concept. These are reviewed by LSUHSC and the Office
of Facility Planning and Control. They are then forwarded to the 406 Mitigation
Team within the Governors Office of Homeland
Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP). GOHSEP reviews each proposal and completes a
preliminary Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) to insure
that the proposal appears to be cost beneficial. GOHSEP then forwards the design concepts to
the FEMA Health & Research Team for their
consideration and preliminary approval. FEMA will consider the proposal for
eligibility of the work as proposed, the technical
feasibility of the mitigation concept, and the cost
effectiveness (based on the BCA).
The following are brief
summaries of the design concepts that have been
submitted to FEMA and are pending their preliminary
When FEMA gives their
preliminary approval of a design concept, the
architects and engineers will produce the
Design/Development submittal (D/D). This is a much more complete set of drawings
and specifications, but not as complete as the
Construction Documents that will be sed to bid and
build the project. Similar to the design concepts, the DD
submittal is reviewed by LSUHSC, FP&C, and GOHSEP. They are then forwarded to FEMA for their
formal review and approval. This submission will result in the
preparation of a formal Hazard Mitigation Proposal
and version(s) to the related Project Worksheets. When approved, the State will have funds set
aside by FEMA to cover the estimated cost for the
The following are the
Design/Development submittals that have been
forwarded to FEMA and are under review, but not yet
Whenever a D/D submittal is
approved, the design team moves forward with the
development of the Construction Documents. These documents are used as part of the bid
package and represent the actual construction work
that will be included in the resulting contract. To date, only the Lions/LSU Clinic Building
has proceeded to the CD phase and is under
construction. LSUHSC, the Office of Facility Planning and
Control, and GOHSEP continue to work closely with
FEMA to move all of the outstanding design concepts
and Design/Development submittals forward.
Here are highlights of work
that has been accomplished since our last update was

I went straight to the TV and learned of the early morning explosion at the Centennial Olympic Park. As various Olympic venues observed a moment of silence for the injured and deceased, my thoughts went to the Ocoee River. My husband, Steve, and my nine-year-old son, Andrew, are at the river today.
Reports Friday indicated that security around the river venue was tight. Though the site is far removed from Centennial Olympic Park, I am concerned for the safety of my husband and son.
Carrie added, "Mom, it's a good thing we went to the Olympics last week." Over the next 10 hours, as we waited for news from Steve and Andrew and watched the games and unfolding investigation, I thought about what the games have meant to our family.
In spite of the tragic bombing, I want to share our Olympic 1996 experience.
It began with a pin trading craze, ignited by an article about the Olympics hobby. During the Torch Relay Ceremony in Cookeville, we spoke with a veteran pin trader who helped us with our first trade: an Olympic torch pin for a baseball pin. Then a Coca-Cola employee gave me an Ocoee River pin. And our entire family became hooked. We shopped and asked for pins everywhere. Armed with pins bought in Cookeville and given to us by others, we embarked on a new adventure. The Atlanta Centennial Games.
Admittedly, I am easily impressed, and I was in awe during our entire trip. Our first stop in Georgia was at the Georgia Welcome Center just south of Chattanooga. The friendly staff offered to call Atlanta area motels for rooms in the $50-$70 range. Ouch! Our reservations were much more expensive and already paid for.
Pins, pins, Olympic pins everywhere, starting at the Welcome Center. One of the booths there included 400 different pins. We bought a book that pictured over 2,200. Later we learned the pins number two to three times that amount.
On the way to our first Olympic event, we navigated through the system of buses and trains known as MARTA. Although we were sometimes squooshed, the MARTA experience was great. Well-informed, pleasant staff members guided us to unmarked park and ride lots. Passengers cheerfully offered directions and advice.
After successfully riding MARTA to the site of the gymnastics venue, we were ready for our first Olympic event, women's gymnastics podium training. It was fantastic! We watched gymnasts from all the participating countries. Although our seats were in the nose-bleed section, Andrew loved them, saying "We can see everything! I hope all of our seats are like this."
On the day of the Opening Ceremony, we played in Centennial Olympic Park. Andrew and Carrie enjoyed the coolness of the water fountain. We must have looked like your average American family because a newspaper reporter from Columbia, S.C., searching for just that surprised us by interviewing our entire family. His goal was to learn what an average family was doing during the Opening Ceremony. We were there in the park, but as the crowds swelled, we ducked into the downtown visitors' center. What luck. They were showing the ceremony on a theater screen. And Andrew and Carrie enjoyed accessing Olympic information on interactive computers.
Later we attended judo and baseball games and found watching the crowd just as fun as the competition. Our pin trading continued, proving amazing as a spectator and participant. We traded with people from Spain, Korea, Japan, India, the Ukraine and Australia. A young athlete from Spain was thrilled when Carrie traded her a Sea World Olympic pin. A Japanese newspaper reporter traded us a pin produced by his paper especially for the Olympics, glad to get an American pin in return.
Another surprise was in encountering friends from Cookeville amid the Atlanta crowds. Even more interesting, we met people from Cookeville for the very first time.
In contrast to negative reports from Atlanta, our experience was wholly positive. Olympic volunteers and security were helpful and full of hospitality. I thank them for hosting the games. Going to Atlanta to see the Olympics is definitely a cherished memory for our family. Andrew's response during judo was a quiet, "Awesome." Carrie speaks of us seeing the games together. And Steve remains impressed with the volunteers and the friendliness of everyone we encountered.
And now, a week later, Andrew and Steve were at the kayaking races on the Ocoee. Hours passed Saturday, but no devastating news bulletins emerged from the kayak venue. They seemed safe.
6:45 p.m. - Steve called from Dayton, Tenn., after leaving the Ocoee River Olympic venue. He was unaware of the bombing. Shuttles carrying spectators to the site were delayed. Lines to ride the shuttles were a quarter mile long; yet, folks in line were not discussing the bombing. It seems that most had left home without watching any TV. Due to the extra security and press of crowds, many spectators, my family included, were about three hours late for the kayaking races, thus missing the moment of silence there that alerted many to the bombing.
8:45 p.m. - Andrew and Steve returned home from the Ocoee River. Our family is again together. Despite the hours of concern Carrie and I experienced Saturday, all of us are richer for our Olympics experience. Let the games continue!
Cynthia N. Bryant is assistant director of the Counseling Center at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville. Husband Steve is a loan review officer at Union Planters Bank. Andrew is a fourth grader and Carrie a first grader at Cane Creek Elementary School in Cookeville.

SNP genotyping by Precision Melt Analysis software using data generated by the CFX96 real-time PCR detection system. Discrimination of human factor V coagulation SNP genotypes (C to T substitution) using SsoFast EvaGreen supermix. Data from homozygous wild type (), mutant (), and heterozygote () samples are shown on a normalized melt curve plot. RFU, relative fluorescence units.
A representative difference curve plot generated from data normalized to a mutant sample. Data from homozygous wild type (), mutant (), and heterozygote () samples are shown. RFU, relative fluorescence units.
Multifile melt study analysis. Compare melt curves from different files using the Melt Study module in Precision Melt Analysis software. RFU, relative fluorescence units.
Precision Melt Analysis software imports and analyzes data files generated from all CFX real-time PCR detection systems to genotype samples based on the thermal denaturation properties of double-stranded DNA. The software can be used for a variety of genotyping applications, including scanning for new gene variants, screening DNA samples for SNPs, identifying insertions/deletions or other unknown mutations, and determining the percentage of methylated DNA in unknown samples. Use the default analysis settings to automatically normalize data and assign a genotype to each sample based on its melt characteristics — there is no need to include genotype controls to assign cluster labels.
Precision Melt Analysis software saves analysis time by assigning sample genotypes automatically based on cluster analysis, or manually using multiple data view options to tailor the software to the appropriate analysis. Use the normalized melt curves plot feature to generate a basic representation of the different clusters based on curve shifting (for homozygotes) and curve shape change (for heterozygotes). Difference curve plots of a sample fluorescence versus a selected control at each temperature transition provide a convenient visual aid to interpret the data.
Precision Melt Analysis software enables data comparison between multiple file runs by combining data into a single Melt Study. Develop a standard library of melt curve runs to analyze an unlimited number of melt experiments without having to export data.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced it has joined a national initiative developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to raise awareness about cybersecurity.
The initiative, known as Stop. Think. Connect., is a national public awareness effort involving government, industry, and nonprofits designed to increase Internet security by empowering Americans to be more vigilant about practicing safer online habits. As part of the partnership, Girl Scouts will educate its 3.2-million members on the issue, and encourage them to educate their communities.
In 2009, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano and former Girl Scouts of the USA CEO Kathy Cloninger unveiled a Girl Scout preparedness patch—designed to engage Girl Scouts and their families in personal preparedness for all emergencies—and announced a new affiliation between DHS Citizen Corps and the Girl Scouts to advance community preparedness nationwide.
In addition to collaborating on the new patch, Secretary Napolitano and Ms. Cloninger also signed an agreement (PDF) formalizing an affiliation between Citizen Corps and the Girl Scouts that creates a partnership to motivate young women to become community leaders in emergency management and response fields and raises public awareness about personal preparedness, training and community service opportunities.

To know the relative humidity when gluing on an instrument's braces is a non negotiable. Players also benefit from this knowledge of low humnidity in order to know when to use a humidifier in order to save them expensive crack repairs.
...compact and portable too. A must have.
I live in Minnesota where it's really humid in the summer and really dry in the winter, so i need to know the humidity and this works perfect.
If you Value your babies , you must have this tool !!! don't be too confident about the humidity & temperature at the place you store your guitars
A must have item. Gives me peace of mind to know where the humidity is. Works really well.
I purchased two of these units, one for the house and one for the shop. I'm very happy with the size and quality of these units. I can now manage the humidity in the shop intelligently rather than guessing.
Gotta have one of these if you want to control surroundings where axes are stored! Great piece of gear!!!
I've tinkered with different methods of humidifying guitars, but was never sure whether I was under or over humidifying. Over the first few weeks owning this, I have tested out each case, room, closet etc. So now I know exactly how well my efforts to humidify are or are not working.
This tool gives you an instant reading in any room, in a case, etc. I live in a desert (10% humidity during most of the year, 30% on the few days it is actually raining), so I've learned that there's really no such thing as too much humidity in my cases. If you live somewhere where you must adjust your habits between humid summers and dry heated winters, this will be very helpful as well.
